Click here to see moreHmm... so basically it has all the same ports and dimensions as Eee PC 900, but there is now a row of buttons between the keyboard and the battery... and power plug is on left side..

Double hmmm.. No Asus logo!? So Eee as a own brand..

UPDATE: Engadget has just told us that it will be launching at June 3rd..

I like some of the design and the corner edges curves are sweet, but I don’t like the cut among the battery, it looks more like a shiny gadget mobile phone twice the price up and half the features down than regular ones. Computers aren’t to be made shiny especially if what it shines is chromed plastic. Sorry but overall I don’t like the new design. If it comes with bigger drive It might look more attractive after all.

Whats wrong with having slots to add your extra stuff in? I think the point he is trying to make is that yes it is portable but by having extra pciE mini slots you can buy the machine basic with the choice of adding your own goods.

I wouldnt mind running a tv card in my Eee with a bluetooth antenna :).

jkmobile,Thanks for your great advice - great job. With regard to adding a 1.8" HHD to the Asus Eee PC 901, you mentioned that the HHD will not fit over the SSD such that the SSD must be removed. Would a 5mm (vs 8mm) thick drive fit over the SSD?regards, Drew L

just traded my old and may i say useless asus 701 for the asus 901 with xp plus $215 in cash 11/13/08 i have no doubt this is going to be a solid investment since the original asus 701 from the first 2007 line was quite limited in every aspect its more of a kids computer then anything the 901 is way better or you can go with the 1000 models asus comes up with a new line like every few months its like like changing underwear for them

is Asus planning to launch eee pc with touch screen or do we have to do it ourself manually. I am thinking to buy 901 and add touch screen but don't know if asus is plannin to release a new model with touch screen.

I'm writing this letter from an eee pc, you can turn it on without opening it at all, we got them free the school donate them for learning stuff in Macedonia, i have to say also that many Eee Pc have malfunctioned during 1 week use "hardware thing" near the blue tooth, otherwise they're nice, small and practical to use..
